Without the course, learning production feels like a cobbled mess of poor teachers and people looking to make money on youtube tutorials.
With the course we had a structured way to build on the knowledge we already had, and expand it to meet the standards of modern production. I hope this course is able to reach as many aspiring producers as possible, and that each of them is able to benefit to the degree which I have.
